The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure to treat a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation using a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern), a non-penumbra sheath, and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, the physician encountered resistance while advancing the microcatheter into the lantern approximately 30 cm past the hub.The lantern was then removed and flushed; however, the same issue occurred upon re-advancement of the microcatheter.Therefore, the lantern was removed.The procedure was completed using a new lantern, the same microcatheter, and the same sheath.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
